Summer movies return to the Yucca Valley Community Center courtyard beginning Friday (April 25). The Town of Yucca Valley Recreation Department is hosting outdoor movies for this and the next four Friday nights. Everyone is invited to bring a lawn chair to the family friendly films.
Tonight, the Town will be screening “Over the Hedge,” in which a mischievous raccoon named RJ tricks a group of woodland animals into helping him steal food from suburban homes to repay a debt to a bear. Led by the cautious turtle, Verne, the animals navigate the human world, facing challenges and temptations along the way. As their adventure escalates, RJ must decide between his selfish motives and his newfound family.
Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and the films begin at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $2 and includes a popcorn.
You can purchase tickets in advance at www.yucca-valley.org
